what do you guys do about vacations? holidays?

i am kinda new on here. i have been lurking around here and there for about 6 months. i am sure there has probably been a topic about this but i have never seen it.

what do you guys do if you are going on vacation for a week? make 10 decants of your favs? buy some samples?or risk taking like 5 bottles with ya......that could leak or get lost.

I am planning a vacation soon and when i thought about what ones to take i went into a panic! I am not sure if the panic was too many to bring what to bring how much to bring, but the thought is kinda overwhelming!

It's not an issue for me because I don't mind being without fragrances for a stretch, but evidently it's a concern for some folks because I've seen at least one thread about taking fragrances on airplanes.

I'm on a plane every week for work. I like to take two or three new decants with me and make the trips into something new. There's nothing better than being in a new city, hotel, etc., and trying out a new accord.
I also pack a comfort thing, just in case I get stressed.

I go to The Perfumed Court and buy the little bullet-shaped 'purse atomizers' (5ml). Decant a few ml of a few different scents, label the atomizers, and I'm all set. No problem in luggage and the metal outer shell protects the glass.

I take at least five bottles in my suitcase and then know that I will probably buy something at the airport. It's part of my routine.

Mind you, now I'm single, and being self-employed I never think about going on holiday. I need a permanent girlfriend who likes a lot of sex and is into fragrances. Women tend to like going on holiday. But I digress...

In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
